All the above are great responses. The number one reason for burning on the table saw is usually that your blade isn’t parallel to the fence. This is a problems that’s pretty easy to fix.

I’ve got a free video on my website you can view that’s all on setting up and maintaining a table saw, particularly a contractor saw. All you really need to check for parallel between your fence and blade is a magnetic base with a dial indicator and a simply shop made jig.

If your interested you can view the setup video at:
